Since Apple released OS X Lion to the general public yesterday, it’s already gotten more than 7,000 five-star ratings in the App Store. In contrast to this positive response, Adobe has released a list of issues with Adobe products on machines running Lion. One such issue is that Apple may have disabled Flash hardware acceleration. In some cases Adobe offers suggestions of how to change Lion settings to better work with Adobe devotees’ expectations of product performance, but in other cases Adobe simply recommends that users do not update to OS X Lion. Many of the issues are small but obnoxiously annoying for anyone who uses the affected feature frequently, such as droplets not working in Photoshop CS3-CS5.

Categorized under Adobe Flash, Samsung Galaxy Tab

One of the selling points for the Samsung Galaxy Tab was that it had Adobe Flash support. One of the arguments for having Flash on the Tab is that it gives you fuller access to the web.

I haven’t used the Tab myself, but there are a lot of reviews out there and all of them focus on how Flash slows the device down. Below are some of those reviews:
